Watch it! X-Men: First Class 2011
Pretty lucky to have tickets for X-Men: First Class 2011 premier last night. I was a bit skeptical on going to watch this movie because the actors are all fairly new and seriously, how can 1 movie show the beginning of X-Men properly? I’ll give my 2 cents on this movie from a fan-boy, non-fan-boy view and overview.
Non-Fan-Boy
The way the story started all the way to the end definitely flows nicely towards the rest of the X-Men movie series. Seeing them growing up and learning their powers and excepting them is always a nice touch to anyone with a fantasy of hoping one day they will also have super powers.
Fan-Boy
Hardcore fans might be disappointed on how almost every characters story isn’t the way it’s suppose to be. You’ll most probably non-stop telling the person sitting next to you that “that’s not the way they met”, “he didn’t do that”, “that’s not true” blah blah blah…
Overview
Story set aside, Matthew Vaughn (director) did a great job on the cinematography and dialogues, he’s pretty good with fantasy comical stuff considering he’s the one who produced Stardust 2007 and Kick-Ass 2010. He kept this movie true to it’s name, first class of X-Men. Focusing on Prof. X, Magneto and the human race. Two greatest mutants torn apart because of different goals and mutual understanding towards each other. The CGI is wonderful, not unbelievable, who am I kidding, it’s a comic movie! Should be unbelievable.
Favorite Scene
Wolverine’s cameo :o)

Watch it! Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)
I’ve always thought that Dreamworks productions are always 1 step behind Pixar. But Kung Fu Panda (2008) has proved me wrong. They have a team of animation artist just for special effects like how sparks look and feel when the claws of the tiger grinds the floor! Can’t wait to have a Blu-ray version for me to pause through the animations and admire the 3D artists’ hard work.
So Kung Fu Panda 2 just hit the theaters officially today in Malaysia. Without much hesitation I got the tickets yesterday and had an absolutely awesome time watching the movie today. It’s been awhile since there’s a show that made me laughed this hard in the cinema.
Unlike most sequels, it’s always either better than the first or worst than the first. Not this time, Kung Fu Panda 2 didn’t try to recycle cinematography angles or cheesy lines or similar animation scenes. Which is why I would say – watch it!
I wouldn’t tell you the whole story here and spoil it for you but here are a few points to excite you to watch it!
- The new characters introduced in this sequel is nicely thought out. The villain, which is Lord Shen, a peacock has got an interesting background story tied to Master Po. Did I mention freaking cool kung fu too?
- Torn between choices for favorite scene but I would pick the dragon looking costume scene cause I seriously had a great time laughing out loud in the cinema.
I did not watch it in 3D version so can’t comment if it’s worth the money. Do comment here if you’ve watched it in 3D version.
Here’s the trailer for Kung Fu Panda 2.

Embarrassing Moments: Too early for a date
Have you ever turn up too early or too late for anything?
A flight? (I’ve heard friends who go to the airport 1 week earlier or 1 day late)
A wedding?
A birthday?
A concert?
A date?
A friend asked me out so I could help her with some PC stuff. So I said okay and the time was set at 8pm. I hang out in the office till almost 8pm then I left for the venue.
8:00 Told her I’ve arrived
8:15 I waited patiently
8:20 I texted her
8:30 Called her
9:00 Called her somemore
9:15 Gonna go home, date stood me up
9:30 Worried and lil’ pissed
10:00 Went home
10:30 Wait… I think the date is tomorrow instead of today
11:00 Laughs at self
12:00 She finally called and said sorry, I said it’s my fault. EMBARRASSING!
here’s the chat log for your entertainment :D
You don’t have to be pretty, just need to be sexy.
I guess the video totally sums up my title. Caroline in the video isn’t a class A model. Heck she isn’t all that sexy at all! She’s just dolled up and yet she’s having it easy.
Think about it, how about those really hot ones? I guess those really could get away from the worst crimes even!

Greatest marriage proposal ever? Really?
Okay, you know how every other YouTube title is named ‘Greatest, best, most awesome marriage proposal ever!!!!111!!1!!1!1!’? And so happen my friend decided to tag me on FB to share this ‘greatest marriage proposal’ video.
I don’t normally think it’s great and all after every video I’ve watched. Yes I mean they are good and sweet but it just didn’t hit the spot. But somehow this really caught my attention.
Big congrats to Matt & Ginny on tying the knot!
Psst… Eventually you know someone with better video editing skills, better idea, a sweeter idea, a more heart melting idea will top this off right?
Always be ready to pose for the camera.
The sad truth about photos. It’s either damn good or damn ugly. There’s never a in between. Anything that is okay is bad. Only the damn good ones will find themselves onto Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and elsewhere.
examples of ‘wow’ pictures
examples of ‘nice, ok, too dark, blur…’ pictures
Who are you kidding, you’ll only upload those you think is ‘wow’ right? Anything besides ‘wow’ don’t make it to the public, ever.
So when someone is holding a camera pointing towards you. Make sure you put up your best pose cause the photographer ain’t gonna put only the ‘wow’ pictures.
That concludes my title – always be ready to pose for the camera.
